Hi Diary,
​
Every morning when I wake up, I find myself regretting not making the most of my time the day before, especially on Mondays. I go through this every day, but, still, after work and dinner, I end up on the couch, watching TV, scrolling through my phone , and playing games on iPad.

​
​Alright, I'll report to you every day. How long do you think I can keep this up?

​Hi Diary,

Guess what? Someone told me today that my dream could actually come true this year… if I just keep thinking about it.

Do you know what my dream is? I dream of having my own place—a big house where my two kids and I each have our own room, a cozy workspace, and a spacious balcony where I can relax and enjoy the view. And, it needs to be very close to MRT.

Well, what do you think? Can I make this happen this year? Possible?

Hi Diary,

I really enjoy my job. I get to learn new skills, gain knowledge, and interact with customers.

However, I've been working here for 21 years now. Do you think the company will still want me around for much longer?

 It’s hard to believe that the 2 little kids have grown up so much.
I think it’s time for both the kids and me to learn to be independent in this new chapter of our lives.

How lucky I am to have these two precious children!

I feel so fortunate to have these two little boys accompany me on this journey of life. They have enriched my life and emotions in ways I can't even describe.​

(Oh my goodness... I'm about to cry again... I'm so grateful to fate for bringing them into my life.)

Hi Diary,

Today is 8/15. BB's university exam results will be announced later today. 
It means that he will be starting college within one month. I can hardly believe I have two kids in college now. I am getting old?
​
​I still remember them in kindergarten—how has time flown by so quickly?

Hi Diary,
​
Could I have two days where I don’t have to do anything, so I can just rest and sleep?

At that time, my two kids and I were very focused on the TV. When 麟洋 won, it felt like all our neighbors and everyone in Taiwan were celebrating together. It was such a touching moment!
​
Thanks, Lin Yang, and I'm so grateful to have been born in Taiwan. This beautiful island is simply amazing.

Hi Diary,

I think I need to learn some time management to reach my daily goals.

Lately, I've been so tired and just want to sleep. Balancing work, house chores, and the goals I've set for learning and exercising has me going to bed at 1 a.m. every night.

I'm exhausted...
​
Good night.

Hi Diary,

I have some good news to share: I've lost 0.5 kg!

After cutting out my four youtiao, which I used to have as a snack after dinner every day, I started to lose weight.

Do you know how many calories are in a youtiao? Oh my gosh! Each one has 255 calories!
​
I'm happy to have lost weight, but youtiao and rice milk are just so delicious! Do I really need to say goodbye to them?

Hi Diary,

Do you like turtles? Today I found out from the internet that there's actually a "World Turtle Day." Interesting? ​I think I'll be visiting this website more often from now on.
